Cooperative Agreement 2M2CMS331910

The Vermont School-Based Services Implementation Program is a $1,000,000 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the Centers for Medicaid and Chip Services (CFDA 93.771 - State Grants for the Implementation, Enhancement, and Expansion of Medicaid and CHIP School-Based Services) with a performance period of July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The program aims to expand access to school-based healthcare services, improve administrative efficiencies, and maximize allowable federal Medicaid reimbursement for the state of Vermont. Key program activities will be implemented by the Vermont Agency of Human Services, a state government entity, and may include partnerships with local education agencies to conduct needs assessments, develop service delivery infrastructure, and provide technical assistance. The federal grant program was established through the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to support state efforts to deliver Medicaid and CHIP-covered services in school settings.
